As we have an international student living with us, I've been doing some experimental cooking lately. I want to see what type of foods he likes so I can encourage him to be healthy in his eating habits while here. He seemed to like this meal, and I learned later in the evening that one of his favourite things to eat is a breaded mac and cheese that is deep fried. So there yah go.. kinda fits eh?

changes made: used a different type of pasta since it's what I had in store

Directions

Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.

In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in cheeses, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.

Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.

End result: we all ate it and enjoyed it, but the casserole was missing something, we suspect some pepper would have helped it overall.
